The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.

The music was SO loud. It was a small crowd of families. I would think the music should not be that loud ever- it doesn’t create an “energetic” environment. We are not there to party or dance we are there to eat and converse with friends and family. It’s impossible when shouting. Also this is a residential neighborhood. Keep music down at nights. Thank you
